Mario Day/2026
Mario Day 2026 Hub
Mario Day 2026 is just around the corner, bringing exciting announcements, special deals, and new game releases. Nintendo has unveiled several new Mario titles joining the Nintendo Classics library, and retailers are gearing up for various related events. We also have some information about this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 console bundle, with much more yet to be revealed as we prepare to honor the Mushroom Kingdom.
What is Mario Day?
Mario Day, celebrated annually on March 10, honors the beloved Nintendo mascot. This day features multiple game discounts, fun activities, exclusive bundles, and more to celebrate Mario’s legacy.
Why is it called MAR10?
The name MAR10 is a clever play on the abbreviation of March (MAR) and the day (10), which visually resembles the name “Mario.” It’s a fun connection that adds to the celebration!
What are the Mario Day Switch Game Deals?
Nintendo has consistently offered discounts on first-party Switch games for Mario Day in recent years, and we expect this tradition to continue. However, there is uncertainty about whether deals will extend to Switch 2 titles, especially since this will be the first Mario Day celebration for the new console. Major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, along with the eShop, will likely feature game sales this year.
Mario Day Switch Console Bundle for 2026
Nintendo typically releases a special console bundle for Mario Day, often including unique packaging and a complimentary game. Although the official announcement for this year isn’t confirmed, a bundle featuring the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World, along with a free year of Nintendo Switch Online, has been observed in Australia, hinting at what’s to come.
New Switch Online Games Announcement
Nintendo has already revealed new titles for the Nintendo Classics library, including Mario’s Tennis, Mario Clash, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, set to launch on March 10, 2026. While fans hope to see Mario Sunshine make an appearance soon, these initial releases will likely take priority for now.
